My unit has been running 24/7 for 8 months now with no issues at all. Setup was too easy. It's bulky, but what router now-a-days isn't. I had no reception issues at all. Speeds are exactly what I expected. IF I had to be petty and complain, the LED's are on top. I like mine on the front :) Dlink is still a solid name making solid products. Strongly recommend, especially for a novice with the easy setup.

This router has unstable 5Ghz wireless connections. The 5Ghz signal is very strong when it works, which is good, but I've had the entire 5Ghz network simply vanish from the firmware page which required a hard reset to fix. Other times the 5Ghz networks will just stop functioning, not showing up at all. The Firmware for this router needs more work. To perform a hard reset, keep the router turned on, use a paper clip and insert the end into the reset hole 'small hole on the back of router', hold reset button down for thirty seconds, holding button down, unplug from power and turn off with switch on back of router, release reset button, plug power back in after another minute or so and turn back on. This should fix most issues with 5Ghz wireless signal disappearing or vanishing.

After being a loyal Asus router customer for many years, I thought I should try other brands to see if grass is greener on the other side.... so I got this D-link DIR-3040 plus two of their mesh units to extend wifioh boy, BIG MISTAKE, where do I begin, I've only had this D-link setup for 6 months, and have encountered the following issues:1. in router admin panel, connected device page is totally inaccurate, half of my devices don't even show up.2. I'm running two d-link "mesh" units with this router, after a router reboot, you often have to reboot each of the mesh units as well, what a PITA3. after a reboot, on most of my devices wifi will stop working until you do a "forget" and re-connect cycle4. wifi unstable, drops connection all the time, and just randomly stop working5. for some reason network shares randomly stop working, can not see the share even on same network. Didn't have this issue with my old Asus router.6. no firmware support, man I didn't know how good Asus's firmware support was until I started using this D-link, the firmware support is non-existent, D-link just don't fix things, even with this relatively new product. Asus pushed an update to my FIVE YEAR OLD Asus router.To D-link's credit, at least they didn't mess up wired connection, wired Ethernet connection is rock solid stable and fast. But nearly all of the WIFI related functions are a mess, nearly unusable.
